Everyone say “Bingo!” “Kevin leaps into spring!” Sunday, March 13th 2 pm

Holiday Hills Ballroom

Members, no charge; all others $5

It’s a bird… It’s a plane… No, it’s Kevin Utter, fly-

ing south from Ft. Collins just in time to check that

everyone sprung forward an hour for Daylight Sav-

ings Time. Kevin will astound you with his mastery

of our Allen 4/33 digital theatre organ (four manuals,

thirty-three ranks), performing complex popular and

sacred selections with attention to the secondary

melodies and inner harmonies that add unique depth

to his beautiful arrangements. Kevin has been the or-

ganist at Christ United Methodist Church since 1995.

Consider yourself one of the family!

“Please sir, I want some Morris” Sunday, May 15th 2 pm

Holiday Hills Ballroom

Members, no charge; all others $5

The incomparable Randy Morris will serve up a

heaping-helping of his tasty tunes in May. Randy’s

musical background includes positions as a church

organist, pizza-parlor organist and as an organ sales-

man. We’ve heard Randy at Holiday Hills as a solo

artist and in partnership with his Brighton church

musician friends last October at “Got Gospel?”

A Holiday Hills audience of 60 kept five organists

on their toes at the November social playing a wide

variety of requests. Organists Jim Calm, Bob Castle,

Bob Flinn, DeLoy Goeglein and Lee Traster coun-

tered with “Stump the Audience” and finished with

a rowdy “ten-handed” “Stars & Stripes Forever.”

Bev Bucci and friends Debbie Cornella, Betty Metz,

Randy Morris, Lee Shaw and Bev’s son Jerry Bucci

raised the rafters and filled 75 appreciative music-lovers

into the Holiday Hills pews at our October social for an-

other inspiring round of “Got Gospel?” There were songs

of faith and encouragement and traditional hymns per-

formed on piano, theatre organ, trombone and drums.

“Mile High Banjo Society” The Mile High Banjo Society put smiles on 100 au-

dience faces at our September club social. The

MHBS played a well-received program of traditional

Dixieland and jazz standards, and included some fun

vocals and several theatre organ and piano duets.

To all our volunteers…..

Time to say “Thanks!”

teering to handle some of the many support tasks

needed to keep the club operational. We apologize if

we’ve failed to list someone.

A huge THANK YOU! to everyone who helps!

The FROOGies were invited to view the Brewer Family

Car Collection in Wheat Ridge on a Saturday in October.

Rod Brewer Senior and Rod Junior were on hand to wel-

come us and talk about their outstanding collection.

Two Touring Organs were rolled in for music-making.

Jim Calm performed and there was open-console time.

Caddie Cousins! Cadillac only made 400 of the very ex-

clusive 1957 Eldorado Brougham. Here’s one of them!

The Brewers especially favor Cadillacs and Chrysler 300

alphabet cars. All of their cars are driven and enjoyed,

and the FROOGies certainly enjoyed seeing automotive

history up close. Rods Jr. and Sr. are theatre pipe organ

fans and attend events at the Paramount theatre. We ap-

preciated the Brewers’ hospitality and look forward to

spending more time together. We will schedule more

Front Range Organ Owners Group activities. Contact Jim

Calm (303-989-3671) if you would like to join our group,

or if you have a suggestion for our next field trip!
